Yogurt Parfait
This Yogurt Parfait is a delicious and customizable treat! Layer creamy yogurt, crunchy granola, and fresh fruits for a perfect breakfast or snack.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek plain yogurt (or vanilla)
- 1 cup granola
- ½ cup honey (or maple syrup)
- 1 cup mixed berries
- ½ cup bananas (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons almond slices
Instructions
- Start by washing your mixed berries thoroughly. Pat them dry with a paper towel. Slice the bananas into thin rounds.
- In your glass cup or bowl, add a generous scoop of Greek plain yogurt to the bottom. Aim for about ½ cup to start.
- Drizzle a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup over the yogurt layer. This adds sweetness and enhances the flavor of the yogurt.
- Next, add a layer of granola on top of the yogurt and sweetener. Use about ¼ cup for that satisfying crunch.
- Now, layer in your mixed berries. You can use a combination of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. Aim for about ¼ cup of berries.
- On top of the berries, add a layer of sliced bananas, about ¼ cup. This adds a sweet and creamy texture.
- Repeat the layers until your glass is nearly full. You can alternate the order or keep the same pattern, depending on your preference.
- Top the final layer with additional granola and a sprinkle of almond slices for that extra crunch.
- Your Yogurt Parfait is ready to be enjoyed! Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for later.

Notes
- For added texture, toast your almond slices lightly before using them in the parfait.
- Experiment with different fruits based on the season; peaches, cherries, and kiwi are great alternatives.
- Make it a meal by adding a scoop of protein powder to the yogurt or serving it with a side of hard-boiled eggs.
- To keep your granola crunchy, store it separately and layer it just before serving.
